Excellent workmanship and nice soprano sound 0 people found this helpfulI purchased my Islander at another dealer and paid $220.00 and I thought that was a good deal. I have really enjoyed this instrument and the quality sound. i enjoy playing along with many of my favorite Hawaiian recordings. I am totally impressed with the fit and finish of this ukelele compared with other brands I own. i would not hesitate to make this purchase again.

a joy to play 0 people found this helpfulThis solid mahogany uke opened up a whole new world for me--the extra neck width makes many chords easier to play even for those of us with small hands. The sound is rich and sweet, with great intonation. Bonus: It's very, very pretty (the HMS photos accurately show the subtle colours). And the set-up from HMS was absolutely perfect. I couldn't be happier.

Delightful 0 people found this helpfulI see the Islander MSS-4 is now out of stock. I hope for the sake of future customers more come in, as this is an absolutely delightful ukulele. I was initially a little daunted because the neck is thicker than I am used to, doubtless making it easier for men to play, but requiring me to stretch my fingers. Once I grew used to the neck's girth, however, I was soon enough able to produce sounds that while not quite so sweet as those heard on Aaron's demonstration video, are a near enough rival. As another reviewer mentioned, the MSS-4 is "sensational looking." Seriously, this uke is gorgeous. The mahogany is beautifully finished, and the detail work along the body and on the bridge, neck, and around the mouth is delicate and artful. Islander kicked the proverbially can long down the road with one.

mss-4 soprano uke 0 people found this helpfulWhat a sensational looking instrument.This was delivered to me in Australia within a week and what a pleasant suprise i got when i opened the box.It played beautiful straight away with the hawaiian tones that you hear on a more expensive uke.The wider neck makes it much easier to play if you have bigger hands and the pre delivery set was once again flawless. Looking forward to visiting your shop in person again in May 2013 and purchase another outstanding ukulele and accesories. Thanks again Brett
